Okay, so is the Xbox One bashing getting just a little out of hand?

Me and a few other posters (I won't name names, they must be kept safe) are the only levelheaded ones here about the X1 hate train.

Hopefully the bashing is just getting warmed up.  Microsoft needs to get kicked in the nuts and thrown out of the gaming industry A.S.A.P.  I believe in healthy competition, but Microsoft is a cancer that needs to be removed.  I'd rather see Sony and Nintendo, 2 companies that I respect, go at it.

MS said there is an agreement that kinect will not spy on you, and you can customize what it will or will not do, or you can turn it off.

You can use used games or trade them. 

The 24 hour check-in is meant for convenience. 

Yes, no BC sucks but it's happened on other consoles before.  MS has done nothing so far to show me that "they are a cancer".  They have done a huge amount to contribute towards gaming, and really care about pioneering many fields.  With the X1, new things are being tried that are meant to make the experience better, but you neandrathals refuse to take a step back and calm the f*ck down, and fight them every step of the way.  They could easily pull out of gaming, and it wouldn't make a dent in their profits, in fact, it would probably make them GO UP.  That shows me they care about what they are doing.

Narrow-minded gamers like you are the cancer that needs to be removed.

I didnt hear the part about being able to turn the Kinect off and change the settings... good to know.  That was a main reservation for me... the only other problem I have is region locking.    Being that there is a chance I could be stationed in Europe or Asia I am a little concerned that the Xbox would not work over there.

Of course. Most of the sheens are hating on it for quite a few wrong reasons, the Xbox dOne was a major scape goat for them it gave them a chance to turn the forum completely towards the current generation instead of the failure of the ps3 last generation.

This extends way beyond our little forum here.

I haven't seen anything unreasonable or excessive considering what has transpired. 

Now if the PS4 was like the Xbone  and the Xbone was like the PS4 on the other hand, it would likely be 100 times worse.

Isn't the basing getting a little out of hand now? Hyperbole, exaggeration, gross misinformation, and with literally everybody imaginable jumping on the hate bandwagon, not just forum posters, but people beyond the traditional purview of gaming too.

On a completely serious, non trolling note, do you think the Xbox One bashing is getting just a teensy bit out of hand?

Its reveal coincidentally coincided with the leaks from Edward Snowden; that just added more fuel to the fire. Sony's ownage was also very clever.

I am immensely impressed at your level-headed response.  Yes the X1 has a menu that allows you to choose how Kinect works, visual, audio, movement, heartbeat, or you can turn it off completely.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they did region blocking, but I'm guessing it has to do with demographic and/or sales.  Although it will be available worldwide a year later...it's not permanant.

Companies must learn the hard way that if they make dumb decisions they must be punished. For every action there will be a reaction. Plus 3 systems in the gaming industry is too much. Someone needs to go, Coolyfett is very sure you dont want Nintendo to leave Charizard, someone like you would become very and Coolyfett means VERY depressed. Think of it this way, the backlash that MS is getting benefits you and all your little Nintendo pals man. Now you guys can share friend codes, fill out surveys & get cute rewards all to your heart content. You should be cheering for MS to fail.

sorry but as soon as microsoft goes (if they do) I have a feeling valve will step in. There big thing was the closed source nature of consoles, and since that is increasing, I can see valve coming out with something next gen.

I think it deserves MORE hate.

I'm getting a PS4 and I still think the Xbox One bashing is ridiculous! This may sound strange coming from a consumer, but us "saving" on used game purchases doesn't help developers. It just helps Gamestop, Best Buy, etc. I want to help developers, the creative people, to keep making games. I even think some retail chains take used games and sell them as brand new anyway. I've bought new games before that didn't have the seal/sticker on them. I rather have developers/publishers rip me off instead of retail outlets. headninjadog

It deserves all the harsh things it's getting.

The more bashing, the better. It only makes the outside world more informed about it. We don't want this surveillance device to sell well.

Sheeps should just scream "TAG YOU'RE IT" to Lemmings! 

:lol: Trolololol

who cares.

Yes. It's ludicrous and sickening. And I also am not really pleased with what they're doing, I still think it's ridiculous. You don't like it? Okay. Why even waste your breathe talking about it then?

Why not try channeling that energy into talking about the games and systems you actually (gasp!) ENJOY.

(too much logic for the internet perhaps?)

gross misinformation,charizard1605

I picked up the Xbox One when it was first released, and personally, I'm enjoying the console. Honestly, I really don't understand why people are bashing the console. There are so many great features in this console with a great company behind it. I said to my friend (who owns a PlayStation 4) one day, that the people who are talking trash about the console will get stabbed in the back soon, and I was right. The next day my friend sent me a link showing that "depsite Sony's great console sales, their income is considered "Junk"". Sony might have made the sales for the PlayStation 4, but the sales for their phones, T.V's, and computers are not good.

Honestly whatever console we have, instead of bashing consoles you don't care for, why not just play what you have? Both consoles are amazing, but both of them are not perfect. They are being supported by two companies that are also great, but not perfect. Also nobody should be judging because look at the differences when the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 first came out, and look at them now. We should just sit back, relax, grab a controller, and enjoy our lives without this nonsense.

you guys heard nathaniel. we can close the website now.

Mr. Nathaniel Cox, you shouldn't bump old threads in forums.

This thread was almost 8 months old and is far too old to post in now.

EDIT: Wow just noticed its an extremely old thread :/

Saying the XOne hate is going Out of hand is a little silly because the hate is justified i mean they are the same people that tried to put everyone in a cage and put a restrain on everything when XOne was announced, they are the same people that released nothing on the xbox360 for over 2 years forcing people to buy the next console which will have nothing but the same exact franchises, they are the same people that charge $100 more for a console that is weaker than the competition and didnt they just recently confirmed a small device that is mandatory to all if they want to use a headset? MS had it coming for thinking they can do whatever they want i mean Sony was like that when the PS3 came out thinking hey people will buy our system at any price but no they learned meanwhile MS didnt learn from others mistakes and i doubt they'll ever learn.

Are people issuing death threats towards Microsoft employees? Are Xbox devs or workers getting harassed directly?

If not, then nope... It's not out of hand, the xbone is a product that has barely any gaming in it and still has paywalls and features that hold it back from reaching any potential and it's getting rightfully criticized

If someone legit likes it, then our criticisms shouldn't affect their liking of that machine in the least bit

I bet you made your account, just to bump this thread ;)

Nope it's no where near as bad as Sonys PS3s early years. It was constant non stop lol

The bashing is way out of hand, but that's to be expected since this forum is like 80% Cow 15% Sheep and 5% Lems, I can barely come up with 5 people including myself who talk about the X1.

The 1984 bedroom surveillance box is a bad product and it should feel bad.

I'm sorry, but what are all you lemmings going on off?

Last time i checked, Killer Instinct had ONE free playable character (for a fighting game) and the other characters all cost $4.99 EACH.

Like, really? You're defending that?

Alright, let's move on to Forza - the almighty apparent AAA game - that in the end of the day, was downgraded graphically and then stripped off things that last-gen games had from the get go: i.e. Weather changes, night/day transitions etc.

Forza 5 had the OPTION for you to BUY token.

These tokens ranged from $0.99 for 100 tokens all the way up to 8,000 tokens for $99.99, basically mean you have the options of paying another hundred on TOP of your %60.

And what are these tokens for you ask me?

To buy/unlock cars of course!

It's absolutely ridiculous and I can't imagine how anyone in their right mind can defend Microsoft and their current trends of implementing microtransactions alongside other implementations that are - in their own way - anti consumerism.

I forgive them, and commend them, for going back on their always online and DRM ideas; but the fact that they even brought them in the first place is something that should be highlighted and constantly reminded that they are, indeed, looking for ways to milk their customers more.

Say what you want about PS4, but the most milkage i got was skin packs for Killzone Shadowfall for the OWL; which even then, was not even necessary due to the fact the WHOLE game in itself, is already then and there and not behind some kind of paywall.

Granted, this could change drastically in the future; and i hope it does.

But let's not say that XBOX ONE doesn't deserve the bashing, because it does. For now, at least.

But when all is said and done, and these annoyances are less frequent and much of the initial reason to bash it have subsided; then we can all agree we should lay off their backs.

Right now, it's more than justified.

Also, this.

Hell yes, to this.

@Sweenix: Nope, I have a blog you can check out :D

No, they fucked up and they need to acknowledge that with painful tears.
